Kohli fined for slow over rate

Virat Kohli, captain of the Bangalore team has been fined USD 20,000 after his side was found to have maintained a slow over rate during their match against Hyderabad on Tuesday.

At the end of the match, it was noticed that Bangalore were three overs behind the required rate after allowances were taken into consideration. Since it was his first offence of the season under the Indian T20 League's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Kohli was fined USD 20,000.

Earlier, Rajasthan skipper Rahul Dravid was also fined the same amount after being assessed to be two overs behind the required rate.

Bangalore beat Hyderabad by seven wickets in their third match with Kohli hitting a match-winning knock of 93 not out. They are currently placed third in the points table behind Mumbai and Rajasthan.
